A deep-copy method CopyReader has been added to BlobReader (virtual) and all of its subclasses (override). This should create a second BlobReader to open the same set of data but with an independent read pointer so that it doesn't interfere with any reads done on the original Reader.
As part of this, IOFile has added code to create a deep copy IOFile pointer onto the same file, with code based on the platform in question to find the file ID from the file pointer and open a new one. There has also been a small piece added to FileInfo to enable a deep copy, but its only subclass at this time already had a copy constructor so this was relatively minor.
Previously, we had WBFS and CISO which both returned an upper bound
of the size, and other formats which returned an accurate size. But
now we also have NFS, which returns a lower bound of the size. To
allow VolumeVerifier to make better informed decisions for NFS, let's
use an enum instead of a bool for the type of data size a blob has.
New dolphin-tool command: "header"
-b / --block_size
-c / --compression
-l / --compression_level
Informative RVZ/WIA header2 value "compression_level" is now a s32 instead of a u32, because negative compression is a thing.
Speaking of, it is now possible to use negative compression levels in dolphin-tool's convert command (not the GUI, though).

It's possible (but rare) for a WIA or RVZ file to support
this for some partitions but not all, and for the game and
the blob code to disagree on how large a partition is.
This is intended to catch WIA files which have been created using
wit's default parameters (40 MiB block size), once the WIA PR is
merged. The check does however also work for GCZ files – not that
I think anyone has a GCZ file with a block size that large.
For instance, we don't want to show TGC files that might be
inside the /files/ directory of a GameCube DirectoryBlob,
and we don't want to show the /sys/main.dol files for extra
partitions of Wii DirectoryBlobs.
Now it's clearer that SetDOL depends on SetApploader
and BuildFST depends on SetDOL.
As a side note, we now load the DOL even if there's
no apploader. (I don't think it matters whether we
do it, but it was easier to implement this way.)
